Celebrate
fall at the History Center of Niagara on Monday, Oct. 8, by exploring
some of the permanent exhibits at the museum and answering some
questions that you might have about how people lived a long time ago.

How
often did people take a bath in the 19th century? How did
firemen fight fires before there were fire trucks and hydrants? What
did Native Americans do for entertainment? What new snack were people
enjoying 100 years ago? To find out the answers, come to the
"Mysteries at the Museum" program on Columbus Day. The program
takes place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the History Center, 215 Niagara
St., Lockport.

The
program is open to children ages 7 through 12. The cost of the
program is $10 per child. Reservations are not required. Parents are
encouraged to leave their children for the duration of the program.
Call the History Center at 716-434-7433 for more information.
